Power Supply Software FAQs

There are many programming languages, such as Python, MATLAB, C#, and C++. The easiest and quickest to implement will be to use power supply software, such as the PathWave BenchVue power supply software, that allows for instrument control by a simple drag-and-drop option.

Yes, you can use the power supply software to help you create commands or command sequences that can then be exported to many programming languages. In PathWave BenchVue, the sequence can be created and then brought into Test Flow.

The easiest and quickest way to do this is to use the power supply software's Test Flow application to save time and achieve faster results—all without ever having to write a computer program. The intuitive drag-and-drop interface in Test Flow enhances your workflow with the ability to create custom, automated test sequences, a task that typically requires days using traditional programming languages. Moreover, you can obtain a deeper understanding of your data using Test Flow’s built-in analysis tools, which log and graph with selectable x-axis and y-axis formats and much more. With the Test Flow capabilities, you can create test sequences without any programming on your power supply software.

Yes, the PathWave BenchVue power supply software allows intuitive control and measurement of hundreds of different power supply models. More 3rd party power supplies can also be controlled using SCPI commands through LAN or GPIB. Here's the complete list of power supplies and other BenchVue-supported instruments.

Yes, the PathWave BenchVue Complete Control Collection, which includes power supply software, among many other test instrument types such as function generators, digital multimeters (DMMs), oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and others, is a standardized PC software that helps to configure a wide range of instrument controls and measurements that all organizations and test teams need - to ensure accuracy and productivity. You could ultimately reduce your overall system bring-up time and increase team productivity by implementing standardized software across your organization.
